Cervione walks

When nature becomes a spectacle. Secret yet welcoming, the Ucelluline waterfall (meaning "little bird" in Corsican) offers a striking setting that will leave a lasting impression. Between the villages of Santa Maria Poggio and San Nicolao, discover this wild and unspoilt site where fresh, clear water flows before your eyes and continues its journey to the sea. This walk is very popular during the day, but also at night, when its misty veil is fully illuminated and will fill you with wonder.

Starting from Col du Pratu (Bocca di u Pratu), this hike takes you to the summit of Castagniccia: Monte San Petrone. There is a magnificent beech forest along the entire route and a superb panorama at the summit.

This trail will take you through time in search of what life was like a few decades ago in this wonderful part of Corsica. The scenery is beautiful and the course is very pleasant...

A beautiful little circular walk from the outskirts of Castineta (well worth a visit!). Discover old hamlets and paths between Castineta and Morosaglia. These paths were widely used before the road to Castineta was built.

This magnificent loop on the slopes of Monte Castellare offers breathtaking views of the neighbouring valleys, the plain of Bastia, Elba Island and, on a clear day, even the Italian coast. It alternates between wooded and open sections until you reach the summit at 1,000 metres, where a magnificent oak tree provides welcome shade for a picnic or a siesta. The descent takes you through the charming hamlet of Costa.

From the church square, set off to explore the wild world of the Corsican maquis. You will walk along pastoral paths where you may encounter herds of goats and sheep, on the ridge separating the Tavignanu and Tagnone valleys. You will enjoy exceptional views of the surrounding mountain ranges and the island of Monte Cristo.

The Tavignano Valley is one of Corsica's most beautiful mountain valleys. It offers a deep, rocky gorge with numerous pools, and above all, the valley is a hiker's kingdom. From Corte, only a well-preserved old mule track leads into the wild Tavignano Gorge. At the Passerelle di u Russulinu, you'll find pools in the torrent, guaranteed to cool you down in hot weather like this year (2017).

This hike is a variation (in terms of the route and starting point) of the Mare à Mare Nord. We set off from Corte, a very pretty town, and arrived at the Gulf of Porto. We stopped at the Refuge de Sega, the Gite d'Albertacce, the Col de Vergio (where we stayed for two days to explore Lake Nino) and Evisa before arriving in Porto.

First stage of the hike from Corte to the sea, at Marine de Porto. This first day is a steady climb up to the Refuge de A Sega.

This is a beautiful family hike around an exceptional location. Both for the natural areas you pass through and the landscapes they offer, and for the history of the area and the preservation of its heritage. Or simply because of the quality of life that Muratu, in the Corsican language, offers its residents, whether permanent or temporary. This impression is confirmed by the condition of the buildings, from the old renovated ones to the more recent ones, as well as by the variety and quality of the shops. On the route, hikers will discover the plateaus to the south with their rich agricultural and pastoral past and the ruins of the recently restored San Frusulu chapel. After a short walk through the heights of the village of Piève, a descent through low scrubland leads to the banks of the small coastal river, the Bevincu, spanned by Genoese bridges. Finally, crossing the centre of the village provides an opportunity to appreciate Murato's important vernacular heritage.

Waterfall hikes in a magical mountain setting. This beautiful and varied hike through the Manganello Valley is suitable for all.

A magnificent and unmissable hike.

The Chjassu Maria Gentile is a pretty walking loop connecting the neighbouring villages of Poggio d'Oletta and Oletta. The route offers rich and varied landscapes: villages, scrubland, oak forests, streams... Its name is a tribute to Maria Gentile, a young heroine of the area who became a symbol of courage when, in 1769, at the age of just 20, she defied French soldiers who had sentenced the inhabitants of Oletta to death for plotting a conspiracy. Maria Gentile's fiancé, like his companions, was sentenced to death and executed without the right to a burial. Maria, refusing to abandon her fiancé's body, decided to defy the ban and, at nightfall, set out to recover it and give him a proper burial. Since then, Maria Gentile has been considered the Antigone of Corsica.

Au départ de l'ancien couvent Saint-François d'Oletta, voilà une très jolie randonnée en pleine nature, de caractère familial puisque sans difficulté et bien ombragée.Plusieurs points d'intérêt jalonnent ce circuit, et une belle fontaine, au deux tiers du parcours, permet de ne pas se charger en eau potable.Parking assuré, y compris les jours de marché qui se tient sur la place du couvent, chaque mardi et vendredi du 1er Juin au 30 Septembre, en matinée.

Easy family hike along a well-marked, shaded trail. Accessible to anyone who is able to walk. Trout river, pure water, pools, waterfalls.

Second day of the hike between Corte and Porto. The trail begins by climbing up to Bocca Arinella, where we discover our destination: after Lake Calacuccia, the village of Albertacce.

A magnificent, unmissable and accessible hike that takes half a day.

This is a magnificent hike that has never been done before, as there is a section that is not listed. The trail starts halfway to the Ghisoni ski resort via a shortcut that leads onto the famous GR®20. This route offers a wide variety of landscapes and vegetation, including fir and beech forests, scrubland, rocky areas, lakes, rivers, animals, sheepfolds and the famous pozzi, which are magnificent in this location. These are pools of water in the green grass that form natural basins, connected by small river veins in the grass. The outward journey is via the Lacs de Rina, and the return via the GR®20. There are a few tough, steep sections, but all in all, it's not a very difficult hike, and well worth the effort.

The Balcons trail, starting from the Belvédère de Barbaggio (downhill) or the RD238 (uphill), offers a nearly 10 km round trip with continuous views of the vineyards and the Conca d'Oru. It can also be taken as a one-way trip (5 km) by leaving a car at the end point and another at the starting point. Surrounded by scrubland, this trail offers remarkable views of the landscapes of the Grand Site de France Conca d'Oru, the Patrimonio vineyards, the Gulf of Saint-Florent and the limestone chain of Mont Sant'Anghjulu, whose six iconic hills are the visual signature of the area.

Starting from Barbaggio town hall (heading downhill), the Chjassu Napuleone crosses the village before entering a forest, where you can see old agricultural gardens on either side of the path. The richness of this route continues when you take the "imperial road" that gave the trail its name. Before becoming emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte is said to have walked this road. The trail can also be taken in the opposite direction (uphill), starting from the bridge at the intersection of Strada San Petru and Strada Napuleone. If you are only doing a one-way trip, i.e. not returning, remember to leave one car at the starting point and another at the end.

This hike takes you through part of the Agriates desert along the coastal path, from Saint-Florent to Loto beach, passing through picture-postcard landscapes.

The Pozzines (from the Corsican word i Pozzi, meaning wells) are acidic peat bogs crossed by winding streams. They are located at altitudes between 1,700 and 2,300 metres. They occupy depressions formed by ancient glacial lakes, which were filled in by clay deposits and numerous dead plants. In Corsica, the deposits of the oldest pozzines are thought to date back around 12,000 years.

One can only admire the tremendous work of man carving a beautifully paved path along these narrow valleys to connect the villages or access the mills. Stone is everywhere, both on the trail and in the village of Mausoléo. The Tartagine invites you to swim or cool off. As for the bridges, what harmonious curves! An unmissable hike.

Discover the Pozzi du Renosu, one of Corsica's most remarkable geological gems, on a circular route redesigned for your comfort. This hike will take you to a vast high-altitude plateau where intense green lawns are dotted with a myriad of sparkling water holes, a direct legacy of the last ice age. We offer an alternative departure point that avoids the steep climb up the ski slope in favour of a more gradual and pleasant path.

From the Val d'Ese station, set off to discover an unexpected landscape in Corsica: the Pozzines. This hike also offers magnificent views of Monte Renoso and Lake Vitalaca. You are sure to come across herds of sheep and cattle grazing in this area.

A beautiful hike that allows you to discover some stunning beaches, starting with Ostriconi beach. After this beach, take the coastal path, which is the start of the Agriate Desert tour, and head back up to Acciolu Bay. There are several beautiful coves along the way.

A short circuit in the Agriates Desert with little elevation gain, some shaded areas and a refreshing breeze from the sea. Pretty trails with beautiful views of the Agriates Desert and the sea. Shaded areas on the first few kilometres. The distance covered can be adjusted as desired by continuing along the path beyond Cala di Vana.
